Notes for MARY CATHERINE FAULKNER:
[Global HAL.FTW]

SOURCE: http://members.aol.com/shelveston/heardweb.html

There are two groups of researchers with regard to the Heard family: Those who subscribe to the unproven
theory of Stephen eloping with Mary Faulkner of "Wales", the daughter of "Lord" Faulkner of Wales. These
researchers also are desperately clinging to the hope that proof will be found that Stephen's father was truly
John Heard, "Earle of Tyrone". They believe that John Heard married Margaret McDonald, daughter of the
Great O'Neill of Tyrone, Ireland. The second group of researchers believes that nothing has been proved
about Stephen Heard's parents. It is a matter of record that no Earl of Tyrone has ever been named
"Heard" nor does the name Heard appear in Burkes Peerage. These researchers believe they have proved
that Mary Faulkner was not born in Wales, and not the daughter of "Lord Faulkner".

Such a lovely family legend is really hard to give up. Just remember, no proof has ever been found of any of
the above. That aside, I've found that family legends generally do have at least a "grain" of truth. I'm not
certain what that "grain" is in this case. One thing I am sure of is that the Heard Family IS SPECIAL
whether of noble birth or not and generations of Heards have all known the family legends and passed them
down from generation to generation. I am very sure that the John (or Charles) Heard that was the founder of
our family was a very special man to be remembered in such a way by so many people over so many
generations.It is believed that Mary Faulkner was born in Bethlehem PA, lived in Lancaster PA and married
Stephen Heard probably in Lancaster PA or VA.

The grain of truth is that Mary Faulkner does come from an aristocratic background. Mary's mother was
Mary Catherine Ferree daughter of Daniel Ferree and Marie de la Warrembere of Picardie France. Daniel
Ferree was a prosperous silk manufacturer.

The Ferrees had been French Huguenot silk manufacturers and members of lower Normandy's lesser nobility
since 1255.

THIS IS SPECIAL NOTE FROM THE STEPHEN HEARD FAMILY

Joyce Poole has done a lot of hard work. Joyce did the Poole Chart so the Heard researchers would know when they read something that was incorrect. People read all of the BAD DAR records and those BAD genealogy books that are full of mistakes and keep passing it around.

The Stephen Heard is NOT related to John Heard the Earl of Tyrone and his wife Lady Margaret. This TWO DIFFERANT FAMILIES. Just because you would like belong to a Royal family doesn't make it true. BECAREFUL for there a lot of MISTAKES OUT HERE.

Joyce Poole's Chart. Joyce Poole is our Heard family researcher. She wonderful person who will share finds with anyone. If you would like her chart email me and I will give her you address. More about Joyce look at the bottom of my page.

States this �Much confused and erroneous information has been passed around and published about this family. Among the misconceptions, the one most often seen is that the immigrant ancestor was John, the Earl of Tyrone in No. Ire, wife Margaret McDonald, and a 2nd wife Esther LaPeirrre in SC. Such claims have been completely refuted.

Also, county records show that three of those said to be John�s sons are ACTUALLY the sons of #1 Charles Heard, blacksmith, who died about 1748 at Hardware River, Albmarle Co Va. Those sons of #1 Charles were #2 Stephen Jr who died 1774 Pittsylvania Co VA. #3 John who died in 1787 Wilkes Co. Ga; # 4 Charles JR who died 1797 Wilkes Co GA.

Note John Heard with wife Esther LaPierrr of SC can have no close connection to these Heards. John was a Jacobite rebel deported from England, arriving in Charleston in 1716. Age-wise he would be a different geneeration than the father of Charles, Stephen and George Heard of PA and Va.

The first generation of this Heard family seen in America, by authoritative records found so far is CHARLES SR(The blacksmith), STEPEHN AND their probable brothers GEORGE(a baker) AND UNKNOWN.

Records indicate that upon immigration, Our Heard family first lived in and near Lancaster Co,. PA. It should be pointed out that many early immigrants to Colonial PA. As well as to the other Colonies, either did not seek or did not have recorded title to the lands they settled until years later, perhaps not at all if they left the area. We have proof that Stephen Sr was at Sadsbury before 1727; he died there with a will dated 11 Oct 1756. Among his will-named children was Thomas, who appears to have later lived in Ninety Six District SC.. We may also see records in Lnacaster Co Pa for Heards who may be Charles JR found on 1740 Taxed in New London Twp and for George Sr and JR and John possibly son of George Sr.

These records and the connection of the Abbleville Co. SC family were discovered by Charles R Clemson of Lancaster,Pa. In nearby Salisbury of Lancaster Co. PA. Was Thomas Falkner by 1714, later father �in-law of Stephen. The family of Charles SR moved to Goochland Co Va. by 1741 joined by George�s group a little later. The traditional location �Hanover Co. VA.

The earliest writings so far found about the Sadsbury-Albemarle Heard family tradition include a paper by Eliza Jane Heard Wootten b 1825 d 1893 and a letter by her brother Dr Falkener Heard b 1828 d 1900. They both wrote that the family came from Co. Tyrone, Ire to America 1720s, but gave NO NAME FOR THE IMMIGRANT ANCESTOR. They also commented on a very old record of this family reported to have contained information back 1420. Family members had talked about this record, saying where it had been kept and who had a copy it. It was said to have been partly in Gaelic and partly in English, as they had land in both places, living first in England before moving to Ireland. Dr Falkner Heard comment that 200 names had been counted in the record. If part of that record was in Gaelic, it would indicate the family was in Ireland for a long time, probably from 1620ca. We know from writings for Julius W, Lliy, Heard researcher, that this �lost or mislaid� record was being sought by 1906.
